Question: Can my dry skin come from taking showers without using a moisturizing soap?
Answers:
How hot is your water?
Hot water will dry out skin a lot, especially if you're not using a moisturizing soap or lotion.
I prefer glycerin soap more than anything, and I've recently started making some myself. It doesn't lather into a big bubbly lather like a lot of store-brand soaps with harsh detergents. It's more lotion-like instead, which is very moisturizing.
"Glycerin soap is gentler on skin than most soaps, making it a good choice for people who have particularly dry or sensitive skin. According to Vermont Soap Organics, glycerin soap also has a lower pH than other soaps, which helps the skin retain its natural moisture. Since glycerin is hygroscopic, it may also help moisturize the skin by attracting water from the air."
